than to load on wagons and ship to
the mill. Wherever openings have
been made, the quartz shows strong,
permanent, and well.de6ned, estab-
fishing the fact that there is on this
ground = valuable ore.body. The
mine is opened by three tunnels. No.
l is rs feet in length, No. 3 is 100
feet in length, and No. 8 is being
worked at the present time, and is in
about 80 feet. These tunnels are al
on the ledge, and nearly their entire
length in ore. The ledge is from four
to 6 feet wide. The length Of the
re-chute, judging from the extent Of
the groupings and tho openings al
ready made, is at least 600 feet. This
mine can easily produce 100 tons per
day. A mill is almost completed on
the ground-10 stamps-and il ex-
pected to have . capacity of from 20
to rs tons per day. The mine is
owned by E. o. Man and E. L. Wool.
colt & Co., Of Pooatello.
THE VETERAN
lies west Of and adjoins the Jumbo,
and is owned by the same parties.
There is shaft sunk on it 80 feet IN
depth. The ledge comes to the sur.
face Of this ground and crops out for
a distance Of 700 feet. 1t is possible
that the ore-chute on the Jumbo ex-
tends into this claim as the groupings
are continuous from one location tc
the other.
THE EUREKA
is claim west Of the Veteran, located
late last fall. The owners have MOI
had time to open up the ground n
they would wish, owing to the wintel

are A. J. Blume and J. N. McCarty
of the Gold Belt.
THE BILLY WEIGH
is situated on the east slope Of Beave
creek, is owned by Thos. Winstea,
and William WEIGH of Bullion, Idaho
The claim is opened by an incline
shaft, As feet deep, which has cut int

taken out Of their workings about s
tons of ore Of good grade.
